His representative is Jorge Mendes and Portuguese-Italian sports reporter Claudia Garcia claims Rafael Leao has also just been signed up to the super-agent.

This could put Napoli in pole position for the centre-forward, who joined Lille as a free agent from Sporting CP last summer.

He scored eight goals with two assists in 24 Ligue 1 appearances last term.

Leao has also been linked with Inter and Juventus.
